Today, we're launching Phase 1 of our RWA rollout to stress-test our infrastructure before bringing 100+ TradFi markets on-chain this summer.
Over 350 competitors have already signed up and traded the $250k in RWA volume required to join the competition.
Don't forget to sign up to compete for a share of the $20,000 prize pool!

Onchain order books face a massive cold start problem, requiring millions in subsidies to attract market makers for new assets, and it's still unclear if they will ever match TradFi liquidity.
Our RFQ model bypasses this entirely, tapping directly into existing CEX, DEX, and TradFi liquidity to list new crypto and RWAs faster and with best in class execution.
Read the full interview via @DefiLlama:
Cold start liquidity, market maker extraction, and inefficient OTC settlement have held back many of today's onchain derivatives.
@variational_io has the answer to all three.

In June, OLP's first integrations with TradFi liquidity providers will go live to unlock TradFi-grade execution on-chain.
No market maker subsidies or years of liquidity bootstrapping required.
9 new RWA markets have been listed on Omni over the past 10 days: $XAU, $XAG, $COPPER, $XPD, $XPT, $CL, $NATGAS, $BZ, and $SPCX.
Equities and indices are next, followed by TradFi liquidity in Phase 2.
Welcome back to another Variational biweekly update!
